A People Eager to Do What is Good

July 30, 2023 Preacher: Alex Bloomfield Series: Titus: Good Works from Sound Doctrine

Passage: Titus 2:1–15

Big Picture of the whole book: Genuine good works emerge only from a deepening grasp of sound gospel doctrine. If godly lives are not present, neither is the gospel.

Big Picture of Titus 2: Sound gospel teaching is what transforms believers of every age, gender, and social class—creating a compelling gospel witness.

1)   The necessity of sound gospel teaching. (1, 15)

  • The imperatives of chapter 2: teach, teach, teach. The gospel must be taught, not just its results modelled.

 

2)    The results of sound gospel teaching. (2-10)

  • One uniting characteristic: self-control.
  • A few unique applications and clarifications unique to each group.
  • The overall corporate result: A compelling community. (5, 8, 10)

 

3) The substance of sound gospel teaching. (11-14)

  • Drawing it all together: The results emerge from the teaching of the substance.
  • The substance in three parts: We have been saved, we are being saved, and we will be saved.
  • A discipling mindset: The germ spawned from the gospel that fuels a healthy church.
